About an hour in. This shit is solid so far.

Ditto for the performances.

I remember Heavy Rain being pretty rough

Just wait until later... Though Hank and Conner's story is well written in it's entirety. It's the only one in my opinion that doesn't get terrible.

I like it in a dumb Hollywood blockbuster sort of way. They do a good job with the cast and characters overall and the game does get a bit over hated.

The allegories can be a bit silly but it's not anything worse than what can be found in the recent Deus Ex games.

Mother's Basement has a good video on this game and it's writing.

It took you an hour and you still haven't seen the robots in the back of the bus?

Yeah this is where the dumb parallels fall flat if you even remotely think about it.

They're robots. Why would they need to sit! I doubt they get tired like people do!

Hank and Connor parts were the best. Kara parts were the low points imo.

Not really. I like the Quantic Dream cinematic games, but besides just being over priced interactive movies they also fail to some degree when it comes to how believeable the writing is and how the characters act in some situations. I get that they need to keep the story moving forward, but still. I doubt they'll make a fourth game for Sony considering how they never really sell a lot. David Cage will probably never see the fruits of his labor truly come to fruition. If they focused on making a fun, high quality video game first and movie second like Hideo Kojima eventually did with Metal Gear Solid then maybe Quantic Dream could actually make a noteworthy game.

I honestly thought that Kara's was pretty decent until the little girl is revealed to be a synth, honestly ruined that whole storyline for me. And Markus's storyline has literally negative subtlety.

If the whole game was just Hank and Conner, it would've been great. By far the best written of the 3.

I actually liked that because it really makes you question how you feel about that entire plot. What does that mean for a character like Kara? You go through her story thinking it's about an android stepping up to save a little human girl but with her being an android as well the dynamic of that changes. Her father isn't abusive to his 'real' daughter he's taking out his failures on an android. Kara doesn't have some higher purpose with humanity she's rescuing a fellow android that will always be a child. It's messed up in a way and one of the only times the game actually does something with the concept.

Marcus is my least favorite of the three plots and it's incredibly cheesy but I did find the escalation rather fun. Especially since I went with the violent uprising finale.

I really loved that game... am I the only one?
Conner and Hank is the best part. Kara was O.K until it starts to converge with everyone else.
